Abstract
Kyphosis, anterior subluxation, and instability of the spine are reported as postoperative complications of multiple level laminectomies in children. The surgical procedure of multiple level laminotomies was proposed as an alternative. Indications in infants and children, the surgical technique and the postoperative management were presented. The goal is preservation of the normal architecture of the spine in patients who are still developing.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
